Further infomation

  • Please ask at reception regarding charges in relation to any private work not listed above.
  • Non NHS work is charged at £180 per hour
  • GPs are not obliged to complete applications relating to firearms and this will be solely at the discretion of each GP.
  • When your doctor signs a certificate or completes a report, it is a condition of remaining on the Medical Register that they only sign what they know to be true. In order to complete even the simplest of forms, they may have to check your entire medical record (some of which may not be accessible on a computer or on site).
  • Do not expect your GP to process forms overnight. Urgent requests may mean that a doctor has to make special arrangements to process the form quickly, and this may incur an additional charge.
